addm3 is a named pattern and its format is well defined. It does not
take a shifted operand and never has.

You appear to be confusing named patterns (used by expand) with
recognizers. Anyway, we have
(define_insn "*add_<shift>_<mode>"
[(set (match_operand:GPI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
(plus:GPI (ASHIFT:GPI (match_operand:GPI 1 "register_operand" "r")
(match_operand:QI 2
"aarch64_shift_imm_<mode>" "n"))
(match_operand:GPI 3 "register_operand" "r")))]
Which is a non-flag setting add with shifted operand.

Not yet. I think there's something fundamental amiss here.
BTW, it looks to me as though addptr<m>3 should have exactly the same
operand rules as add<m>3 (documentation reads "like add<m>3"), so a
shifted operand shouldn't be supported there either. If that isn't the
case then that should be clearly called out in the documentation.
